Originally published in 1959, this book charts the journey made by
the author and a Creole journalist from Sierra Leone across West
Africa at a time when a political, economic and cultural revolution
was taking place. It was not so much the exotic tribal Africa as
the new Africa of the politicians, the aspects characteristic of
the period of transition that fascinated Crowder. He was struck by
the differences produced by years of British and French rule. He
talked with governors and the governed wherever he went. Part
travelogue, part academic study, this is a fascinating portrait of
West Africa on the cusp of monumental change in the second half of
the 20th Century.
